Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 41 - She is Mine, Mind Your Manners
41: Chapter 41 She is Mine, Mind Your Manners
41 -41 She is Mine, Mind Your Manners
Watching Brandon Reese’s dashing departure, Lucas Shaw sneered in his heart.
Great.
Brandon Reese, you just lost next month’s bonus.
“Serena, all I see is work, there’s no difference to me who delivers the documents.”
This was the first time Lucas Shaw had called her “Serena.”
He had always called her “Serena Summers.”
The corners of Serena Summers’ lips twitched imperceptibly, the curve disappearing in an instant.
She didn’t speak, just quietly looked at him.
If you looked closely, you could see her eyes were brimming with laughter.
But Lucas Shaw was looking down, thinking about how he could convince Serena Summers, and didn’t notice these details.
“If you don’t believe me, I can pull up the surveillance footage from the 56th floor.”
Over the years, he had always done things his own way, never explaining himself to anyone.
But Serena Summers was different.
She was his wife.
After getting married, he had to be sufficiently sincere to his wife.
That was the most basic responsibility of a husband.
He pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, thinking how he was really not good at explaining things to people.
The next second, suddenly, a soft figure nestled into his arms.
The girl’s delicate and fragile arms wrapped tightly around his waist, her cheek resting gently against his chest.
“Okay, I believe you.”
“Even if you didn’t explain, I would still believe you,” Serena Summers lifted her cheek from his chest, her almond eyes twinkling, “Because you are my husband.
If I don’t believe my own husband, should I believe a stranger?”
Meeting Serena Summers’ clear eyes, Lucas Shaw suddenly felt a sigh of relief and the corners of his lips involuntarily curled.
The unease that had gripped him was instantly smoothed over.
He stretched out his arms, holding her tightly against him, his jaw resting on top of her fluffy head, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, his dark eyes unable to hide his pleasure.
This feeling of being trusted unconditionally.
He liked it a lot.
…
In the evening, when Lucas Shaw returned home with Serena Summers, he found that the sofa was filled with people.
Master Shaw was seated in the main seat.
Next to him were Elena Ryan, Liam Shaw, Adrian Shaw.
And Clara Shaw.
When they saw them return, everyone turned their heads to look over.
Suddenly being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Serena Summers hid behind Lucas Shaw.
Lucas Shaw raised his hand and patted her shoulder, softly comforting her: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
“Grandfather, big brother, Adrian, Clara.”
Elena Ryan was completely ignored by Lucas Shaw, her delicate face instantly darkened.
She was annoyed, but couldn’t utter a word.
She didn’t expect Lucas Shaw to embarrass her time and again!
Master Shaw nodded slightly and said softly to Serena Summers: “Serena, come here to grandpa.”
Serena Summers and Lucas Shaw exchanged a glance.
Seeing Lucas Shaw nod, she hurriedly walked over.
A trace of warmth suddenly appeared on Master Shaw’s icy face.
“Serena, did you go to the company with Lucas today?
Did you have fun?”
“Yes.
I had fun,” Serena Summers smiled with lifted corners of her lips.
Although a small incident had occurred, it did not affect Serena’s mood in the slightest.
Master Shaw nodded with a smile, his smile deepening, “As long as you’re happy.
If Lucas upsets you, you can tell me or tell your big brother.

We’ll take care of him.”
Serena nodded obediently.
She took Lucas Shaw’s hand, her almond-shaped eyes twinkling like stars, “My husband definitely wouldn’t bear to make me unhappy, right honey?”
“Mm.” Lucas Shaw looked down at Serena, the corners of his lips barely curving into a fleeting smile, which both Master Shaw and Liam Shaw accurately captured.
Liam Shaw silently sighed to himself, as his brother had always been indifferent and had never been seen being so gentle with a woman.
It seemed that grandpa was right, the decision to go through with the wedding ceremony was truly the right one.
He cleared his throat and asked Serena, “Sister-in-law, when can the poison in Lucas’s body be completely eliminated?”
Serena pressed her lips together and shook her head, “I’m not sure.
I need a lab to extract poison samples from his body.”
A look of surprise crossed Liam Shaw’s eyes, “You’ve also studied western medicine?”
Liam Shaw himself studied western medicine.
He owned his own lab and medical team.
This lab was set up specifically to study the poison in Lucas Shaw’s body, but there had been no progress over the years.
Now, hearing Serena’s words, a spark of insight flashed in Liam Shaw’s eyes.
Serena nodded with a shy smile, “I’ve learned a bit.
My mentor is a junior brother of Professor Parker who also dabbled in western medicine, though not as proficient as Professor Parker himself.”
Professor Parker’s medical expertise was nationally recognized, and there were few in Corland who could match him.
Liam Shaw’s perception of Serena was once again renewed.
He stood up excitedly from the sofa and said to Serena, “Sister-in-law, I have a lab, and you’re welcome to use it anytime.
As long as it can cure Lucas, whatever you want, you can have.”
The poison inside Lucas Shaw had always been Liam Shaw’s concern.
He had chosen to study medicine in order to cure his brother.
Many thought his decision to give up the family fortune was foolish, but only he knew that he never wanted to inherit the Shaw Family estate.
Serena’s eyes lit up, as she had been worrying about not finding a suitable lab.
To her surprise, Liam Shaw took the initiative to offer her the use of his lab.
“Thank you, big brother.
Can I go see your lab tomorrow?”
The young girl looked up, her eyes sparkling brightly, her deep joy not hidden in the least.
What Liam Shaw saw was sincerity.
He nodded earnestly, “Yes.”
Watching the interaction between the two, a hint of displeasure arose within Lucas Shaw.
He stepped forward to pull Serena into his embrace by her shoulders, silently declaring his ownership.
His cold gaze seemed to say, “She’s mine, be mindful of your place.”
Liam Shaw was taken aback, then let out a light chuckle.
He stepped forward, patted Lucas Shaw’s shoulder, and left with a stride.
Before turning around, Serena accurately caught the moisture in Liam Shaw’s eyes.
Upon leaving the villa, Liam Shaw wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes.
His brother had really grown up.
He now had a girl he wanted to protect.
After Liam Shaw left, Lucas Shaw’s brows slightly knitted, and his look towards Serena was a bit reproachful.
As if to say, how could you ignore me because of another man?
Serena’s lips curved slightly, and she wrapped her arms around his strong waist, “Honey, are you jealous?”
Lucas Shaw was taken aback.
Jealous?
Impossible!
He instinctively wanted to deny it but then caught Serena’s glistening, moist eyes.
His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and Lucas Shaw tightened his arms around Serena, pulling her close into his embrace, and murmured a low “Mm.”
